NB: Some Level 2 core courses will only be offered in Semester 1.
The BSc Accounting is a specialized, practice-based programme and at Levels 2 and
3, there is a requirement to complete a number of practice tutorial sheets under the
guidance of your tutor. You should therefore register for no more than 3 of the
available courses per semester, OR the maximum number of courses per semester
that you can reasonably complete successfully to ensure that you do not jeopardize
your GPA.
To ensure success at this Level, the working adult should aim to attempt no more
than 3 courses per semester. Note that you can register for a minimum of one course
in a semester, as necessary.
In keeping with the specialized nature of this programme, it is strongly recommended
that you purchase copies of recommended texts as these will serve as useful reference
in your future professional practice
REMINDER: Your Levels 2 and 3 courses count towards the type of degree you are
awarded. A GPA below 2.0 means you will not be awarded a degree.
